Concepts vs. self-actualization – Instead of dedicating your life to actualise a concept of what you should be like, ACTUALISE YOURSELF. The process of maturing does not mean to become a captive of conceptualization. It is to come to the realization of what lies in our innermost selves.
Who is This Book For and What Pain Does it Help You Replace With Pleasure?
This book is for the non-martial artist as much as it is for the martial artist. Whether you are a Bruce Lee fan, a martial philosopher or simply a martial arts and action movie buff.
If you love martial arts and action movies, and have been endeared by the likes of Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, Bolo Yeung, Steven Seagal, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Cynthia Rothrock, Jet Li, Chuck Norris, Donnie Yen, Tony Jaa, Michelle Yeoh, and many more amazing martial arts actors and actresses on the big screen, then This book is for you.
If you love practising martial arts and have focussed mainly on physical cultivation rather than mental & spiritual cultivation using the Secret martial philosophies that are seldom taught, and have not Learn how to apply them to your life rather than just in a combative situation, then This book is for you.
What is the Objective?
Many people want to live the Martial Way, but do not know how to. Either because the ancient teachings and roots of martial arts have been forgotten and lost as martial arts & philosophy travelled from the mystical East to the West, and because of the West's relentless focus on the physicality of training only, especially with the glorification of combat sports.
This book reveals the ancient secrets of martial arts, so you will not only understand the roots of martial arts & philosophy, but also how to apply them to your life so you can start to live the Martial Way by sharpening your sword of consciousness and spirit to reveal why you were put on this planet, i.e. your true authentic highest self or Original Truth.
Loi’s personal mission statement is:
‘My chief definite purpose is to educate, inspire and empower people, so that they can live life to its truest potential… so they can align themselves towards their personal liberation, self-actualisation and achieve their personal success goals.’

What is Original Truth?
The function and duty of a human being, a “quality” human being, that is, is the sincere and honest development of potential and self-actualisation.
bruce lee
Therefore, to tap into your ultimate potential and become that what you were put on this planet to be, is to discover your Original Truth. Martial arts & philosophy is just a toolset to help you self-actualise by peeling away the layers of illusion by sharpening your sword of consciousness and spirit to reveal your Original Truth.
Gandhi summed it up beautifully when he described the process of BEcoming as:
Life is an aspiration. Its mission is to strive after perfection, which is self-realization. The ideal must not be lowered because of our weaknesses or imperfections.
gandhi
Self-mastery therefore is a process of Cultivating your mind, body and spirit by looking within, only then to express outwardly your true authentic highest self.
You are the commander of your mind. I’ve always been buffeted by circumstances because I thought of myself as a human being [affected by] outside conditioning. Now I realise that I am the power that commands the feeling of my mind and from which circumstances grow.
bruce lee
To achieve this, this will Take a lot of practice, and when tackled using a martial mind-set and motion, it is what I call The Art of Martial Mind Power.

Does This Book Suit Your Martial Arts Style, System or Method?
Bruce Lee famously quoted:
‘I have not invented a "new style," composite, modified or otherwise that is set within distinct form as apart from "this" method or "that" method. On the contrary, I hope to free my followers from clinging to styles, patterns, or molds.’
In keeping with Lee’s philosophy, Loi uses a ‘Style of No Style’ to connect with all and every martial artist and human being. Loi has used universal principles and philosophies which he has identified as the commonalities between all styles, systems and methods, to throw away boundaries and Bring together martial artists and people interested in martial philosophy to help you grow and prosper.
Loi believes that this is what Bruce would have wanted, and he has stayed trued to this virtue in Master Your Life. In Bruce’s own words:
‘When one has reached maturity in the art, one will have a formless form. It is like ice dissolving in water. When one has no form, one can be all forms; when one has no style, he can fit in with any style.’
What Inspired Lak Loi to Write This Book For You?
What inspired me was Bruce Lee on the big-screen when I was a little child. The only way I’d sit still and eat my meals as a young child of three or four years old was when my parents put on a Bruce Lee movie…and I just sat there, mesmerised.
Later in life, in 2003, I nearly lost everything — I lost my job, my home and found out my wife was pregnant all at the same time. It was both the happiest and scariest day of my life - jobless, homeless, a new father to be with another mouth to feed.
I also found the ‘rat race’ to be dysfunctional, egotistical, dehumanising, apathetic, spiritually dead, unfulfilling and meaningless. I had a realisation that the City and Wall Street helped me make a living, but did not help me Make a life. But my life changed when I found one of Bruce Lee's Kung Fu schools in Manhattan to keep me strong and focussed, to help me keep going for my family.
Through hard training and perseverance over the next decade I cultivated my own mind, body and spirit and earned the accolade of becoming a third generation instructor in Bruce Lee's martial art and philosophy, a Personal Development, Elite Fitness Coach and achieved my personal success goals.
During my process of self-mastery I started to connect the dots and transcend my own learnings. Thats when I decided I had an obligation to share this gift of self-mastery with you, so I can help you to Transform your life towards your own end desires.
I call it Martial Mind Power and the outcome of the journey… Original Truth so you too can discover who you really are.’

What People are Saying...
Don Green, Executive Director, The Napoleon Hill Foundation, America's Largest Personal Development Organisation, Founded by Dr Napoleon Hill, Bestselling Author of Think and Grow Rich
"Lak Loi has been deeply inspired by Bruce Lee, and discovered how Lee was inspired by Dr. Napoleon Hill's famous book, Think and Grow Rich when Mr Loi made the connection that Bruce had set himself a 'Definite Chief Aim' based on Dr Hill's philosophical works.
Mr Loi realised that the premise of Lee's success was built on a mindset instilled by Dr. Hill's famous philosophy, 'what the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve'.This gave birth to Mr Loi's concept of using the Martial Mindset inspired by Lee combined with Mind Power inspired by Dr Hill, which led him to coin the term Martial Mind Power. Mr Loi takes the reader through nine steps to self-mastery, to allow you to determine your success in life.
Each one of you has Martial Mind Power to discipline your mind and body to cultivate your self-mastery.
If you do not learn to take this power back, your life will be controlled by external forces leading to your misguided misery. I urge you to read this book and then apply Mr Loi's Martial Mind Power teachings in order to cultivate your self-mastery, to live the life you dream of. "
"I urge you to read this book and then apply Mr Loi's Martial Mind Power teachings in order to cultivate your self-mastery, to live the life you dream of."
Tim Tackett, First Generation Instructor in Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do and Original Member of the Bruce Lee Education Foundation
"Lak is the leading authority on the application of Bruce Lee’s teachings for personal development and has truly transcended Kung Fu in his unique way. He has pioneered the use of Bruce Lee’s Kung Fu to use martial movement to help Move the Mind to Move You Towards Your Own Abundance."
Andrew J. Staton, Jun Fan Journal Columnist for Martial Arts Illustrated Magazine and Authority in Bruce Lee's Legacy
"Jeet Kune Do was the name Bruce Lee gave to his way of martial arts training whilst in Los Angeles, before this he had taught a style called Jun Fan Gung Fu (literally Bruce Lee’s Gung Fu which was adapted from the Wing Chun Style of Kung Fu). But in the late 1960’s he wanted to free his students of style, system and method and never meant Jeet Kune Do to be a Martial Art, but more the process by which the student could liberate themselves from the limitations which traditional Martial Arts had.
To this aim Bruce taught his students to be mentally & physically strong. These days the physical element is still the easiest to be taught, but the development of Mind Power using the Martial Mindset is still weak in some areas where ever Bruce Lee’s combat philosophy is being developed. Like all JKD instructors they must develop their own teaching skills, to let their students grow in such a way that they can accept knowledge, without limiting themselves on growth or being bound by technique or style.
Lak has seen the freedom in releasing the mind from day to day restraints and passing on his passion by inspiring, educating and empowering his students, so that they can live their lives to their truest potential and align themselves towards their personal liberation, self-actualization and achieve their personal success goals... which was Bruce Lee’s main aim. Lak calls this... Martial Mind Power.
"Jeet Kune Do is just a name, do not bother with it, it is the individual and limitless growth that is the true expression of life. Lak is a great signpost towards this direction and this book is but one of his signposts!"
Chris Kent, First Generation Instructor in Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do and Author of Liberate Yourself - A Guide to Personal Freedom
"If you are sincerely interested in discovering (or perhaps re-discovering) your real self, actualizing your true potential, and living life to the fullest, then Master Your Life is a must-read.
Combining many of the philosophical principles and concepts utilized by the legendary martial artist, Bruce Lee in his own process of personal liberation with up-to-date research concerning knowledge and learning as well as modern training principles and processes, Lak Loi has masterfully distilled an encyclopedic wealth of knowledge and information about personal growth and development into a single, action equals results-oriented book.
Master Your Life is a powerful call to action for anyone who wishes to empower themselves, take control of their own destiny, and be the architect of their own dreams. Read it today."
